There are a few experiences in life that, when I think about them, make me genuinely excited. Like, shake my arm, pit of my stomach, shakey knees, punching the air excited. These experiences include: Playing with my son, riding roller coasters at Cedar Point, putting on brand new socks, and... AIR SHOWS!!!

Here are a few photos from last weeks Los Angeles County Air Show. While this years lineup didn't include a fighter jet stunt "team" (Blue Angels, Thunderbirds), it did include a demo by the gravity defying F-22 Raptor! Wow, that thing amazing! If you ever have the chance to see one in action, I highly recommend it.
